What's to disagree about? When you buy a locked Samsung phone, Samsung is getting money from Facebook and Candy Crush and a bunch of other vendors for making sure their bloatware is on your phone. When you buy it unlocked, they're not getting that money from those vendors so they charge you some of the difference. There's no "agree to disagree", this is documented fact.

It would be helpful if you said "CPU" instead of "item" to avoid confusion. There are more than one kind of item which is sold in a locked or unlocked state.

Selling locked CPUs vs unlocked when the unlocked ones can handle overclocking makes perfect sense. CPU manufacturing is not deterministic at the subatomic level; there are inevitably going to be variations between units and it's perfectly reasonably to charge more for the ones that come out better.
